beauty sketches

 You need to watch this:

How do women view their own beauty?  I was struck by the things the women said after they understood the social experiment. 

"I should be more grateful of my natural beauty."

"It impacts everything. It couldn't be more critical to your happiness."

"That's not how the world sees us."

"We spend a lot of time as women analyzing and trying to fix the things that aren't quite right and we should spend more time appreciating the things that we do like.

In a post last October I wrote:

Ever have a cluster of days that make you feel not so great about yourself?  Something crawls into your head and you just can't shake it.  You might find yourself spending extra minutes in front of the mirror examining all of your imperfections and beating yourself about this or that.  Work harder, drink more water, wear moisturizer, find a better shampoo, get a haircut.

My mantra today, this week, this month.  You are beautiful, pass it along.

[Be gentle with your spirit and give yourself a break.  Remind someone else of her beauty.  She may have forgotten.]

Remind yourself every day.  You are beautiful.
